Plenty of new and future immersive experiences are ready to entertain you

Perhaps no other area has been touted more in terms of the potential of VR than entertainment. From video games to movies, people are finding whole new ways to have fun, such as placing yourself in the seat of a race car, or fighting your way through an alien spaceship. Some of the more novel uses in terms of gaming involve mixed reality. Companies like The Void offer experiences where you can explore seemingly blank rooms, but with the power of MR you are transported holodeck-like to a spaceship or other environment. Melodyvr and Nextvr, meanwhile, offer you a way to watch shows and concerts without having to leave the comfort of your own home. And we’ve already seen a wave of augmented reality games, such as Pokémon Go, that let you use your smartphone to ‘catch’ Pokémon in the real world.
